Bitcoin (BTC) experienced a 2.4% gain in the past 24 hours, pushing its price above $27,000.
A Bitfinex analyst told Decrypt that several factors contributed to this bullish price spike, including news of the Ethereum futures ETF, a 2% rise in the S&P 500 index, and approximately $80 million in short liquidations within the last 24 hours.
